COLONIAL GOVERNORS 

The Order of the Descendants of Colonial Governors was 
founded in January, 1896, by Miss Mary Cabell Richardson, of 
Covington, Kentucky, a Colonial Dame of Virginia and Daugh- 
ter of the American Revolution. It commemorates the ser- 
vices of those men who exercised supreme executive power in 
the American Colonies, and who laid in them the foundations 
of stable government and of that respect for civil law and 
authority which made the maintenance of their future inde- 
pendence possible. 

The Order recognizes as Colonial Governors all persons 
invested with supreme executive authority in the government 
of colonies comprised within the territory of the thirteen 
Colonial States, under whatever title that authority was exer- 
cised, and whether derived from the Crow^n by appointment, 
from the people by election, from another Governor or from a 
chartered company by commission.* 

The Order admits among Colonial Governors those persons 
who, by election or by appointment of the Crown, held the offices 
of Deputy-Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Vice-Director-Gen- 
eral or Vice-President in the Colonial States, and also those 
persons who, in the absence of the Chief Magistrate, were tem- 
porarily invested with supreme governing authority, irrespec- 
tive of length of service. 

The Order also recognizes the honor conferred upon distin- 
guished citizens of the American Colonial States in their elec- 
tion or appointment to the office of Governor, even if, for good 
reason, they did not exercise its powers, or exercised them in a 

*The student of colonial history will readily see the necessity of making our defi- 
nition of the word "Governor" a comprehensive one. To restrict it within narrower 
limits than the above would be to throw out some of the most famous of the early 
colonial rulers. An Order of Colonial Governors would be an anomaly that omitted the 
Dutch Governors of New York because they were commissioned by a chartered company 
and bore the title of Directors-General, or the Governors of Plymouth Colony because 
Plymouth was not one of the thirteen Colonial States, or the Governors of Connecticut 
prior to 1662, because up to that date the colony had no chartered rights, or the majority 
of all the Colonial Governors because they were not appointed by the Crown.

colony which has remained under British rule. In the latter 
case their descendants must liave been loyal to the cause of the 
R.evolution. 

(In defining the position of the Order concerning the claims 
of Colonial Governors, the Governor-General wishes to express 
her indebtedness to the learning and kindness of the late Mr. 
Justin Winsor, the eminent historian, and Librarian of Har- 
vard University.) 

Governors' Assistants and the Presidents of the United 
Colonies of New England are not eligible ascendants to the 
Order of Colonial Governors. 

MEMBERSHIP 

Membership in the Order of the Descendants of Colonial 
Governors is purely honorary, and by invitation only. All 
men and women in the direct line of descent from a Governor 
or Acting Governor prior to 1750 are eligible to the Order 
provided: 

ist. That they be members of the Colonial Dames, Colonial 
Wars or Mayilower Societies, and that their line of descent 
from the Governors be recorded in any one of the said So- 
cieties, or 

2d. That the ancestral lines of ascent to the Governor, with 
all dates of births, marriages and deaths, as far as possible 
to ascertain, be furnished with affidavit attached, and 

3d. That they be invited by their State Chairman, or 
where there is no Chairman, by the Governor-General. 

CHAIRMAN IN CALIFORNIA 

Mrs. Selden S. Wright, of San Francisco, Colonial Dame of 
Virginia, and Daughter of the American Revolution, was ap- 
pointed by the Founder as Chairman to organize the Order of 
Colonial Governors in California, 1896.

ORDER IN CALIFORNIA 



ROBERT CARTER 

Acting-Governor of Virginia Colony, J 726-27 

THE first of the Carter family, so far as is known, was Col. John Carter, 
who settled in Upper Norfolk, now Nansemond County. He was a 
Burgess in 1649 and in 1654, and, for some years after, represented 
Lancaster County in a like capacity, and in that year was Commander-in- 
chief of the forces sent against the Rappahannock Indians. 

Robert Carter was a son by his third wife, Sarah Ludlow, and was 
born in 1663. For many years he was the agent and representative of the 
Culpepper and Fairfax families. He received a grant of 63,000 acres of 
land in the "northern neck," and founded an influential family, among 
whose descendants were several Colonial Governors, two signers of the 
Declaration of Independence, and two Presidents of the United States. 
He himself was the most prominent man in the Colony, and was Speaker 
of the House of Burgesses 1694-99; Treasurer and member of the Council 
1699-1726, and acting Governor 1726-7. His will, dated in 1722, disposes of 
a principality of 300,000 acres of land, 1000 slaves, £10,000 in money, be- 
sides houses, furniture and plate of great value. 

"King Carter," as he was called for his vast possessions, imperious 
manner and almost unlimited power which he assumed as agent, does not 
seem to have been hated "more than the exact agent of a royal robbery 
would naturally be" (Moncure Conway in Mag. Am. Hist.) Certainly he 
and his family were personally popular throughout the state, for, as Meade 
says (Old Churches of Virginia), "his daughters were married to the first 
men of Virginia, and his sons to the first ladies of Virginia." 

Governor Carter's tomb, with that of his two wives, was, a few years 
ago, still preserved in Christ Church, Lancaster County. His epitaph, 
written by some ripe scholar, is in itself an epitome of his life, and ascribes 
to him the greatest virtues and a sincere piet}'. In the ancient vestry book 
of the church, the names of the Carters were written in a large bold hand, 
and, contrary to usual custom, always preceded those of the minister. 
According to tradition, the congregation, which doubtless consisted of his 
tenants aud dependents, did not enter the church on vSunday until the 
arrival of "King Carter's" Coach, when all followed him and his family 
into the sacred edifice. However this might have been, it is certain from 
the vestr}' books that he not only built and endowed the church, but 
reserved one-quarter of it for his numerous dependents, besides a pew 
near the pulpit for his immediate family.

WILLIAM CLAYBOURNE 

Deputy-Governor of Virginia 

WILLIAM CLAIBORNE, or Claybourne, was born in Westmoreland, 
England, about 1589, and died in Virginia about 1676. He emi- 
grated to Virginia in 1621, and in 1625-37 was Secretary of State 
for the Colony; a member of the Council 1625-60, and in 1642 was appointed 
Treasurer, for life. 

During the years 1627-8-9, the Governors of Virginia gave authority 
to Claiborne "to discover the source of the Bay of Chesapeake," and the 
King granted a license to "our trust)' and well- beloved William Claybourne, 
one of the Council and Secretary of State of our Colony of Virginia" 
authorizing him to make discoveries and trade. Under this license, in 
1631, he discovered Kent Island, in Chesapeake Bay, and established a 
trading post there, which became the nucleus of a flourishing settlement; 
and he also owned a large tract of land upon which the city of Annapolis 
was afterwards built. This action was the occasion of long disputes be- 
tween the Colonies of Virginia and Maryland, resulting in some bloodshed, 
for, in 1634, the land was claimed by Governor Calvert of Maryland, as com- 
ing within the grant to that colony, and Claybourne's property was confis- 
cated, and he was driven into Virginia for protection. Claybourne bore 
a prominent part in the troublous times which followed, being called by 
his friends the "Champion of Virginia" and by his enemies, the "evil 
genius of Maryland." When Maryland, which was settled by Cavaliers, 
heard of the death of Charles I., thej' declared for Charles II., and Clay- 
bourne, at his own request, was appointed, in 1651, by the Cromwellian Par- 
liament a member of a Commission, and seized its government and territory, 
which was afterwards restored to Lord Baltimore. Much criticism has 
been made of Claybourne and his actions, but recent investigations have 
shown that historians have misunderstood him, and that he was really the 
victim of Court favoritism and injustice. (Enc. Brit.)

JOHN WEST 

Acting-Govemor of Virginia, I635-I636 

JOHN WEST, the fifth son of the second Lord De La Ware, was born in 
England, 14th December, 1590. His relatives and family connec- 
tions, who were closely allied to royalty, were among the most 
active and influential agents of American colonization. It was his elder 
brother, Sir Thomas West, a member of the King's Privy Council, who 
was the first resident Governor-in-Chief of the Colony of Virginia, and 
who was so consistent a friend to it that he not only obtained in its behalf 



several advantageous modifications of its charter, but also dissipated the 
family fortune in the endeavor to make it a success. In March, 1659-60, 
the House of Burgesses recognized these sacrifices, and passed an Act 
"acknowledging the many important services and favors rendered to the 
country of Virginia by the noble family of West, predecessors of Mr. John 
West, their now only survivor," and relieved him and his family from 
taxation as long as they should live. (Vir. His. Coll. New Series, Vol. i.) 

Capt. John West was Muster-Master-General of the Colony; a Burgess 
in 1629 from " Over the River "; a member of the Council 1629-1630 (O. S.), 
and likewise for many years after. 

On 7th May, 1635, the Council, pending the time when they could 
present their grievances against Governor Harvey to the King's Council, 
made choice of a temporary Governor, " Capt. John West, an ancient in- 
habitant, a very honest gentleman of noble family." He served from 28th 
April, 1635 to 2d April, 1636. 

West was appointed by Governor Berkeley, a member of his Council, 
upon the arrival of the former at Jamestown in 1642, and he continued in 
serving the Colony until his death about 1659.

WILLIAM BRADFORD 

Governor of Plymouth Colony, 1621-33, 7, 9-44, 1645-57 

THE history of the Pilgrims and that of William Bradford are so closely 
interwoven that an account of one is practically a story of them 
both. In fact it is Governor Bradford's history of "Plymouth Plan- 
tation" (MvSvS. lost in 1774, found at Fulham Library, England, 1855) which 
gives us our information concerning its early days, and to it we owe the 
basis for the lines of descent from the "Mayflower" and Pilgrim ancestors 
to which many of us refer with such pardonable pride. 

William Bradford was born in Austerfield, Yorkshire, England, in 
1588, and was baptized 19th March, 1589. His parents dying when he was 
a child, his education was provided for by his grandparents and uncles, 
but was limited almost exclusively to those branches of knowledge deemed 
necessary to an agricultural life. Deprived of other sources of information, 
his love of reading naturally sought gratification in the Bible, and at an 
early age, he became a student of it, for it was when he was only twenty 
years of age that he, in company of his life-long friend and associate, 
William Brewster, took passage with the Pilgrims, in 1608, for Holland. 

During his sojourn there, he married, 9th December, 1613, his first 
•wife, Dorothy May, who was drowned in Plymouth Harbor, 7th December, 
1620. He married, as his second wife, in Plymouth, 14th August, 1723, 
Mrs. Alice South worth. 



—13— 

Governor Bradford died in Plymouth, 9th May, 1657. He was laid to 
rest on the brow of Burial Hill, overlooking the scenes of his life work. 

The value of his public services and the purity and earnestness of his 
personal character show him to have been a man of wisdom, learning and 
integrity, alike entitling him to our admiration and respect.

WILLIAM BRADFORD, 2d 

Dzpaty-Governor of Plymotith Colony, J 682-6, 1689-92 

MAJOR WILLIAM BRADFORD was a natural student, and was well 
known as a Latin scholar, and as one fond of antiquarian pursuits. 
These tendencies did not, however, interfere with his ability as an 
executive or his qualities as a soldier, for he attained distinction in both 
vocations. He was a Major in King Philip's War; a Deputy from Plj'- 
mouth in 1656-7, and, after the death of his father, became Assistant in 
1658, in which capacity he served twenty-four consecutive years. For the 
remaining ten years of the Colony's existence, he filled the new office of 
Deput3'-Governor, save during the three years when Sir William Andros 
held the office of Governor, when he was in the nominal Council of New 
England. He was also, for twelve years. Colonial Commissioner by direct 
selection and by substitution, and, from 1695-1702, or longer, he was Judge 
of Probate. 

In all his offices, his conduct shows him to have been a noble and 
high-minded man, deserving of the trust reposed in him. He was born 
at Plymouth, I7tli June, 1624; married three times, and died 20th February, 
1703-4, in his 7Sth year. He resided on the north side of Jones' River in 
what is now Kingston, Mass., and was the father of from 15 to 20 children.

THOMAS DUDLEY 

Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1634, 1640, 1645, 1650 

LIKE that of Plymouth Colony and its Governor, William Bradford, 
the name of Thomas Dudley is so associated with the history of the 
Massachusetts Bay Colony that his biography would be a general 
history of the Colony itself during the same period. He was born in 1576, 



—14— 

in Northampton, England, and was the son of Captain Rodger Dudley. 
Before coming to America, he saw military service under Henry IV. of 
France, at the Siege of Amiens, in 1597, with a company of volunteers 
which he had raised. 

When Winthrop came to Salem on the "Lady Arabella" in 1630^ 
Dudley accompanied him as Deputy-Governor, under the New Charter. 
He served thirteen times in this capacity; was Assistant 1635-6 and 1641-4; 
was Commissioner of the United Colonies many times, and President 1647 
and 1649. He was a founder of Harvard College in 1636. In 1644 he was 
appointed Major-General of the Colonial troops, and was Governor in 1634, 
1640, 1645 and 1650. He died 13th July, 1652, at Roxbury, Mass. 

Winthrop speaks of him as a man of "approved wisdom and godli- 
ness, and of much service to the country," which statement is but con- 
firmed and amplified by Palfrey in his history of New England, written 
two hundred years later, when he says, in summing up Dudley's character, 
"his well-known capacity, experience and scrupulous fidelity to every 
trust made him an object of implicit respect."

SIMON BRADSTREET 

Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, J 679-86 and 1689-92 

SIMON BRADSTREET was born in Horbling, Lincolnshire, England, 
in 1603, and was, therefore, twenty-seven years of age when, having 
been chosen Assistant under the New Charter, he came to New Eng- 
land with Winthrop in 1630. His father was Rev. Simon Bradstreet, a 
Non-Conformist minister, and he was " grandson of a Suffolk gentleman of 
fine estate." He took his degrees in Emmanuel College, Cambridge (A. 
B. 1620; A. M. 1624), and well deserved the designation of " courtly Simon 
Bradstreet." He settled first at Cambridge and then at Andover, Mass., 
and entered upon his long career of usefulness in the Colony. 

He was elected Assistant at forty-eight successive annual elections, was 
Secretary of the Colony 1630-36, and Governor from 1679-86, and again 
after the rising against Andros, 1689-92. " He was a blameless man, a con- 
scientious Puritan, a painstaking officer, and eminently trustworthy in the 
details of business." (Palfrey's History of New England.) 

Governor Bradstreet married Anne Dudley, daughter of Gov. Thomas 
Dudley. "His wife was a woman of quaint learning, and quainter verses, 
which her contemporaries admired beyond measure. One of her books 
was published in London with the title of " The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung 
Up in America" — (Fiske). Among her descendants may be mentioned 
William EHery Channing, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Richard Henry Dana 
and Wendell Phillips.

THOMAS HINCKLEY 

Governor of Plymouth Colony, J 68 1 -92 

THOMAS HINCKLP:Y, the son of Samuel and Sarah Hinckley, was 
born in Tentertlen, Kent, England, in 1621. He came to America 
with his parents in the ship "Hercules," of Sandwich, in the year 
1634. He resided at Scituate until 1639, when he removed to Barnstable, 
Mass., where he died 25th April, 1706, aet 85. 

In 1645 he was elected a Deputy, and again in 1648; and at several sub- 
sequent periods. In 1658, when Mr. Cudworth and Mr. Hatherly, two of 
the most excellent men in the Colony, were persecuted and driven from 
office on account of their opposition to the rash measures against the 
Quakers, Mr. Hinckley was chosen one of the Assistants, and continued in 
office until 1681. At the election, he was especially designated as Deputy- 
Governor, in consequence of the ill health of Governor Winslow and the 
extreme age of Mr. Alden, who, as First Assistant, would have succeeded 
to the Chair. In June, 1681, on the death of Josias Winslow, Mr. Hinck- 
ley was chosen Governor, in which office, (except for the brief rule of 
Andros) he continued until Plymouth Colony was incorporated with 
Massachusetts in 1692. He was then named as one of the Councilors of 
the Province of Massachusetts Bay. 

Governor Hinckley was a man of more than ordinary ability and influ- 
ence. In religion, he was what Randolph called a "rigid independent"; 
he was greatly interested in the propagation of the Gospel among the 
Indians. He also succeeded, after more or less contention, in the exten- 
sion of free schools, and an adequate support of ministers of religion. 

His acceptance of office under Andros, which has been criticized, was, 
undoubtedly, prompted by a desire to prevent injurious action against the 
Colony. The inscription on his tombstone reads: 

"History bears witness to his piety, usefulness and agency in the pub- 
lic transactions of his time."

THOMAS MAYHEW 

Lord-Proprietor of Martha's Vineyard, I64J-I674 

THOMAS MAYHEW was born early in 1592, and came to America 
from Southampton, England, where he was a merchant, probably in 
1633, or early in 1634, since he was admitted Freeman 14th May 
1634. We find him in Medford in 1635, and in the same year as settling in 
Watertown, where he owned mills and a farm, and where he was Select- 
man, 1637-43; and Representative, 1636-44. On loth October, 1641, he 
and his son Thomas received from William, Earl of Sterling, a grant of 
Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and the adjacent islands, with the same 



— 16 — 

powers of government as the people of Massachusetts enjoyed under their 
charter. These possessions came under the grant of New York, made in 
1664 by Charles II to the Duke of York. 

Under the English rule, 1664-73, he was made Governor and Com- 
mander of Martha's Vineyard Colony, having been, prior to that date 
(1641-64), and under the second Dutch regime (1673-4), Governor-de-facto. 

Like his son, Rev. Thomas Mayhew, he was deeply interested in the 
welfare and conversion of the Indians, and when his son passed away, he, 
being acquainted with the Indian language, (and there being no prospect 
of securing a suitable pastor for them) began, at the age of seventy, to 
preach to the natives, as well as the English, and continued to do so for 
twenty-three years, until his death at the advanced age of ninety-three.

JOHN ALDEN 

Actmg-Governor of Piymooth Colony, 1664-5 and J677 

WHILE, owing to its association with that of Myles Standish, the 
name of John Alden was one of the most familiar of those of the 
first colonists of PUmouth, he was not one of the original society 
of the Pilgrims, but was engaged to them for the term of one } ear as a 
cooper, just previous to the sailing of the "Mayflower" from South- 
ampton for the shores of the new continent. He appears to have had 
more education than the average colonist, and his Bible, preserved at 
Pilgrim Hall, Plymouth, was among the few books belonging to the early 
Pilgrims. By his traditional!}- romantic marriage with Priscilla Mullens, 
in 1621, he definitel}' cast his lot with the Fathers of Religious Liberty in 
America, and bore his part in the trials and hardships which marked the 
first years in their new home. 

He lived to be the last male survivor of the signers of the "Mayflower 
Compact," and, during his long life, occupied positions of trust and im- 
portance in the Colony. He was assistant to every Governor bur Carver, 
serving at least forty-three years; was Treasurer for thirteen j'ears, and 
was eight times Deputy from Duxbury, which town he had settled with 
his friend Myles Standish. In 1664-5, and again in 1677, he was Acting- 
Governor of the Colon)', under the title of " Deputie Gouernor". 

In character he was honorable, brave and sincere, and, although in his 
later years a follower of the intolerant Prence, he was, considering his en- 
vironment, liberal and consi<;tent. He resided most of his days at Dux- 
bury, and died there 22d September, 1687, aged 84 years, or, according to 
other accounts, 88 years.

TRISTRAM COFFYN 

Chief Magistrate of Nantucket, I67I-3, I677-8J 

THE name of Tristram Co{T\ n heads the Hst of the ten purchasers of 
Nantucket and its adjacent islands from the Lord-Proprietor of 
Martha's Vineyard, Thomas Mayhevv. The sale included the patent 
and charter rights of the government of the island, which were the same 
as those of Massachusetts. Although it was ceded in 1664 to New York 
Province as part of the grant to James, Duke of York, the owners con- 
tinued to rule the island as an independent state until 1670, when they 
were called upon to prove ownership by Governor Lovelace of New York. 
Their Charter being recognized and their growth and importance justify- 
ing it, they petitioned Lovelace to devise for them a more definite form of 
government than they enjoyed. As a result, "by authority of His Royal 
Highness," Tristram Coffyn was commissioned, June, 1671, first Chief 
Magistrate "to govern the Islands of Nantuckett and Tuckanuckett," and 
the people and General Court given the right to elect Assistants. In old 
documents of the day, the Chief Magistrate is styled "Worshipful Gov- 
ernor of this. His Majestie's Island." 

In 1693 the various chartered Colonies of Plymouth, Nantucket, 
Martha's Vineyard and Maine were annexed to the Massachusetts Bay 
Colony, and formed the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 

Tristram Coffyn was born in Devonshire, England, in 1609, the family 
of CofFyne having been residents of Portledge since the Conquest. He 
was a Royalist and came to America in consequence of Cromwell's success. 
He settled first in Newbury, Mass., in 1659. He served as Chief Magis- 
trate of Nantucket first 1671-3, and again 1677-81, in which year he died.

RIP VAN DAM 

Acting-Governor of New York, 1 73 J- J 732 

RIP VAN DAM was born in Albany, New York, about 1660, and died 
in New York City in the year 1749. He was one of the most promi- 
nent merchants of New York, was a man of wealth and high re- 
spectability, and w^as spoken of as "one of the people of figure." Van 
Dam was extensively engaged in the West Indian trade, and owned sev- 
eral ships. He was public-spirited, and exceedingly interested in whatever 
affected the welfare of the Colony, and manfully opposed all abuses. He 
attained great power and influence, and when Governor Montgomery sud- 
denly died in 1731, he had served for nearly thirty years as one of the 
Governor's Council. Van Dam, as the oldest member of the Council and 
its president, was appointed to the office of Acting-Governor, pending the 
arrival of Governor William Cosby from England, and served from the 
ist July, 1731 to ist August, 1732, to the satisfaction of his fellow colonists. 



— 18— 

When Cosby finally arrived with an order upon Van Dam from the 
King to divide the salary, emoluments and perquisites of the office, our 
doughty and shrewd merchant met him with a proposition to divide the 
salary if Cosby would share the perquisites he had received in England, 
which amounted to more than the salary. He not only refused to give up 
his salary, but sued Cosby for the balance due him on the King's order. 

The affair was finally dropped and Cosby secured no division of 
money, but it created two violent factions, and so strong was the feeling 
which had been created that when Cosby was about to die, he secretly 
suspended Van Dam^as President of the Council, so that he should not suc- 
ceed to the office, and appointed George Clark in his place. As soon as 
this action became known, it aroused much bitter feeling, the sj'mpathy 
being chiefly with Van Dam in the resultant controversy. 

As Lamb states: " He (Van Dam) was a man of sterling sense as well 
as strong character, and his record for honesty was unimpeachable. He 
inspired confidence; the people knew him and believed in him, and were dis- 
posed to support his claims at any cost, and an insurrection seemed immi- 
nent. This, however, was prevented by the timely arrival of a vessel from 
England, conferring power on Clark." (History of New York.)

JOHN MASON 

Deputy-Governor of Connecticutt 1660-70 

MAJOR JOHN MASON was born in England in 1600. He was bred 
to arms in the Netherlands, under Sir Thomas Fairfax, which 
seems to be about all that is known of his early career. He emi- 
grated to America in 1630, and was called upon to exercise his military 
talents as early as 1633, and again in the Pequot War, where he commanded 
the Colonial troops. He afterwards wrote a brief history of that trouble. 

Major Mason first settled in Dorchester, Mass., which town he repre- 
sented in the General Court held at Newtown (now Cambridge) in 1634-5; 
and in the same year he was one of a committee to design and construct 
the fortifications in and around Boston. In 1635 he assisted in the migra- 
tion of the Dorchester settlers to the west side of the Connecticut Riven 
and, with them, founded the town of Windsor, Conn. From 1642 to 1660, 
he was a magistrate of the Colony, which office he resigned to fill the 
office of Deputy-Governor to which he was elected. He was also one of 
the original proprietors of Norwich, Conn., in 1660. He died in Norwich 
3d January, 1672, where, at its centenary, in 1859, ^ monument was erected 
to his memory — "The Saviour of Connecticut." 

He had an energetic mind, was kind and benevolent in his intercourse 
with others, and, in bodily frame, is represented to have been tall and 



— 19~ 

portly. Major Mason was a Royal Charterer of 1662, and held every post 
of honor in the gift of the Colony, save that of Governor. As Deputy- 
Governor, he discharged the duties of Chief Magistrate during the two 
years in which Governor Winthrop was in England about the Charter.

EDWARD SHIPPEN 

Deputy-Governor of Pennsylvania, i703 

EDWARD SHIPPEN was horn in Yorkshire, England, in 1639, and 
emigrated to Boston in 1668. Of his history in England nothing 
definitely is known except that he was bred to mercantile pursuits, 
in which he successfully engaged after his arrival in Boston, so that he 
was worth £10,000 when he removed to Philadelphia. In 1669 he was a 
member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston. 

He married a Quakeress in 1671, and, after marriage, became a mem- 
ber of her sect. The unfortunate persecution of the Quakers did not 
overlook him among its victims, for Governor Coddington of Rhode Island 
mentions in a letter, i6tli August, 1677, that, on the 9th of that month, 
Shippen, together with others, was arrested for attending Friends' meet- 
ings, and " publickly whipped"; and again on the next day "he not only 
suffered as a martyr, but also defied his oppressors." 

In 1693-94 the persecution of the Quakers became so violent that Mr. 
Shippen was driven into taking refuge in Pennsylvania. Here he found a 
warm welcome. His ability was at once recognized. He arose rapidly 
into prominence, and founded a family of much distinction. He was 
elected, 9th July, 1695, Speaker of the Assembly; 25th October, 1701, first 
Mayor of Philadelphia; 1703, Deputy-Governor of Pennsylvania; 1702-4, 
President of the Governor's Council. He contracted a third marriage in 
1704, which separated him from the Society of Friends, after which he 
seems to have disappeared from public life, except to advise. He died 
October 2, 1712, aet 73. 

In character, Shippen was a man of courage, integrity, intelligence 
and sagacity, of unspotted moral character, and of active business habits. 

" In giving honor to whom honor is due, it must be said that a great, 
if not the greatest, portion of the glory of building up the Commonwealth 
which was founded by "deeds of Peace," was due to Shippen, Norris, 
Logan and men like them who fostered commerce and developed the 
resources of the Province * * * yet neglected not the refinements and 
graces of letters and polite society." (Provincial History of Peun.) 

Something of the style in which Mr. Shippen lived may be gathered 
from the following extracts of letters: "There are very fine and delight- 
ful gardens and orchards in most parts of this country, but Edw. Shippen, 



who lives near the Capital City, has an orchard and gardens adjoining to 
his Great House that equalizes, if not exceeds, anything I have ever seen." 
"This venerable edifice long bore the name of "The Governors' 
House." It was built in the early rise of the city — received then the name 
of "Shippeu's Great House," while Shippen himself was proverbially dis- 
tinguished for three great things — the biggest person, the biggest house, 
and the biggest coach."

ROBERT TREAT, son of Richard Treat, was born in England (prob- 
ably London) in 162 1, and came to America with his father and set- 
tled at Wethersfield, Conn. In 1639 several Wethersfield families 
founded Milford, Conn., and among the pioneers was Robert Treat, who 
resided there for fifty years, until his death on the 12th of July, 1710, in 
his 89th year. 

Treat was renowned both as a civilian and as a soldier, and was one of 
tiie prominent men of his time. In 1661 he was elected Magistrate and 
remained so until 1664, when he declined re-election; but in 1665 became a 
member of the Court of Assistants, established that year, whose juris- 
diction extended to matters of a higher nature than that of the Particular 
Court. In 1670 he was appointed Major of Connecticut troops, then the 
highest military office in the Colony. He at once attained prominence, was 
second in command of the united forces at the Great Fort Fight, 19th 
December, 1675, in King Philip's War, and his gallantry, courage and zeal. 



throughout that war aud in protecting the border towns against the In- 
dians, made him a popular hero and, by his men, was given the name of 
"The Good Angel." 

He served as Deputy-Governor, under the Charter, 1682- 1703. 

The controversy with Andros and the incident of the disappearance of 
the Charter of the Colony from the suddenly darkened room, where the 
two factions had met, and its secretion in the Oak, lends interest to the 
administration of Governor Treat.

ROGER WILLIAMS 

The Founder of Rhode Island 

THIS apostle of religious toleration was born in Wales about 1600, and 
was educated at Charterhouse School and at Cambridge. He took 
orders in the Church of England, but became a Puritan. He arrived 
in America in 1631 and was a pastor in Salem, Mass., in the same year. 

On account of his political and religious opinions, he became so objec- 
tional to the authorities that, upon his return to Salem from a two years' 
pastorate in Plymouth (1633-34), ^^ was ordered out of the Colony. This 
resulted, about June, 1636, in the founding of Providence. 

He wrote, among other works, an Indian Grammar — "Key into the 
Language of America," aud his great influence with the Naraganssett In- 
dians was used for the benefit of the Colony in the Pequot War. In 1639 
he founded the first Baptist Church in America, but he soon withdrew 
from all church connections (1643). He obtained a Charter for Rhode 
Island Colony in 1644; was in England during 1651-4, and was afterwards 
President of the Colony. He died in Rhode Island probably in March or 
April, 1684.

JOHN WEBSTER 

Governor of Connecticut, 1656 

FROM family traditions, we learn that John Webster was born in War-

Conn., in 1636. In 1637-8, be was one of the Committee who, for 
the first time, sat with the Court of Magistrates, and was a Magistrate

who formed the criminal laws for the Colony in 1642; a Commissioner for 
the United Colonies in 1654. 

Governor Webster was an influential member of the church in Hart- 
ford, and took a deep interest in the controversy which agitated that and 
other churches. Owing to these dissensions, in which the Webster party 
were in the minority, he, with about sixty followers from Hartford and 
Wethersfield, removed to and founded the town of Hadley, Mass., in 1659-

ON the death of Sir George Calvert, ist Lord Baltimore, Charles I. 
confirined his patent to his son Cecil, 2d Lord Baltimore. Leon-

He was Master of the Rolls at Connaught, Ireland, 1621-26. At his broth- 
er's request, he set sail from Cowes 22d November, 1633 (St. Cecelia's 
Day), accompanied by two hundred Roman Catholic gentlemen. They 
arrived at Port Comfort, Va., 24th February, 1634, and took possession of 
an abandoned Indian village, which they named St. Mary's and which 
became the ancient capital of Maryland. 

Soon after his arrival, he had an interview with Clayborne, who had 
.settled at Kent Island, and Calvert claimed jurisdiction over that territory, 
which was resisted by Clayborne. For some years Calvert was in England, 
but he returned to Maryland in 1644 with a new Commission. 

Meanwhile, Clayborne had possessed himself of Kent Island, and 
finally drove Calvert to Virginia for protection; but in 1646 Calvert re- 
turned, routed Clayborne and his followers, and reduced Kent Island to 
submission. Calvert died 9th June, 1647.

Proprietary-Governor of Maryland, 1648-53 

WILLIAM STONE was born in Northampton, England, in 1605, and 
died in Charles County, Maryland, about 1660. He emigrated to 
Northampton County, Virginia, where he served several years as 
High Sheriff. But it is as the first Protestant Governor of Maryland that 
he is known to history, for, by reason of the ill treatment of his Puritan 
colonists in Virginia, he removed with five hundred of them to Maryland, 
and was appointed Governor of the Province by the Lord-Proprietor of 
Maryland. The passage, by the Assembly, of the memorable Act of 
Religious Toleration, which had been prepared by Lord Baltimore, at- 
tracted many more of the persecuted Puritans from Virginia, who, in 
1651, rebelled against Governor Stone and deposed him. In 1655 he tried 
to regain his position by organizing a military force, but, in the encounter 
with those in power at Annapolis, was defeated, wounded and made pris- 
oner. He was tried and sentenced to death, but was saved through the 
entreaties of influential persons in the victorious party. 

From March, 1655 to November, 1657 he was deprived of the Gov- 
ernorship, but, in the latter year. Lord Baltimore, in England, signed an 
agreement by which he was restored to his rights, and was made one of

the Council under Governor Fendall. Upon the termination of the latter's 
office and his return to England, Governor Stone retired to private life at 
"Avon," his country place. 

His services to the Proprietary were appreciated, for he was granted as 
much land as he could ride around in one day.
